decode chaos
into clarity

Hello and こんにちは!

I am Scott Jarkoff (ジャーカフ スコット),

a threat intelligence and cyber security professional, entrepreneur, visionary leader, presentation virtuoso, cyclist, tech geek, and wannabe iPhone photographer living and working in the heart of Tokyo, Japan.

a powerhouse on-stage speaker, delivering electrifying and profoundly impactful keynotes that captivate, challenge, and inspire.

a remarkably creative presenter featuring incredible visuals combined with striking insights on cyber threat actors, their evolving tradecraft, and the attacks defining modern cyber warfare. I illuminate the future of generative AI in offensive operations, the shifting cyber security landscape, and the critical thought leadership shaping the next era of digital conflict.

I write about cyber security, sophisticated cyber adversaries, global cyber attacks, threat intelligence, the eCrime ecosystem and the dark web economy, leadership, global and domestic travel, hiking trips in Japan, and occasionally post various photos taken with an iPhone and meager composition skills.

I am the ambitious co-founder and mastermind behind deviantART, the largest and most vibrant online art community the world has ever seen, launched on August 7, 2000.

I am orchestrating the inception of Praeryx, a new cyber threat intelligence startup currently in deep development.

the quiet architect of jark after dark, a nocturnal pursuit of the uncomfortable questions hiding behind polished narratives, built for those who suspect the official story is never the whole one.

Finally, I live in Tokyo, Japan, where I architect and oversee these mission critical operations.

Reach out to me for inquiries.
